The rights of immigrants are under attack.

Immigrants are being targeted more than ever. From the ongoing separation of asylum-seeking families—including young children from their parents—to targeted ICE raids across the country to crowded and unsanitary detention centers, the treatment of immigrants has shocked our nation’s conscience. We The Action volunteers help immigrants understand and navigate a complex legal system and ensure that their Constitutionally-granted due process and equal protection rights are honored.

Lawyers are a key resource in this fight.

We The Action volunteers work with leading nonprofit organizations to join rapid response legal teams and challenge removal proceedings. They represent individuals at bond hearings and in asylum proceedings. They reunite families and protect individuals from being forced to go back home to face violence or certain death.

The Dilley Pro Bono Project

We The Action lawyers travel to Dilley, Texas for an intensive, weeklong volunteer opportunity at the nation’s largest family detention center. The Immigration Justice Campaign organizes our legal volunteers to assist with Know Your Rights presentations, draft legal filings, and help women prepare for credible fear interviews.
